Connecting learner-led design with real-world industry.

Design is rarely a straight line. Designers identify problems, develop ideas, prototype solutions, test outcomes, and refine their work through multiple iterations.
​
This platform encourages sharing and reflection on design decisions, supporting creativity, experimentation, and iteration.
​
Iterative design processes also support learner autonomy, encouraging cognitive thinking, independent thinking, making decisions, testing ideas, and refining thinking.

Self-led design learners participating in Community of Design are encouraged to document how their ideas evolve across each stage of the iterative design process, supporting reflection, and informed design decision-making.
